Whale Watching Tours
Come along with us for a 2½-hour true Alaska experience. We go to places that are the most common for hump back whale watching. We often see many other marine mammals such as sea otters, porpoise and eagles. Hoonah has a rich history and our knowledgeable staff will keep you entertained when whale watching turns into whale waiting.

About Our Vessels
The Straight Shooter
Our whale watching tours are personal and intimate carrying up to 12 people. (During COVID, we have limited the number of persons on our tours to 6 people to accommodate for precautions.) The hull design of our vessel is a trimaran. This design gives the vessel more stability and smoother ride with less rock ‘n roll than a monohull vessel. This stability allows for less motion sickness and better photographing.

The Orca Express
The Orca Express
The Orca Express is a 34 ft aluminum boat by Duckworth, specifically designed for tours on the water and sightseeing. The Orca Express has a large cabin with a restroom on board and plenty of room for distance-conscience people. During COVID concerns we have intentionally reduced the capacity from 14 passengers to 6. One of the special features of this vessel that many tour guests enjoy is that she is completely enclosed and passengers are out of the weather. The vessel is powered by twin 250 Hp Yamaha outboard, so that the vessel can get from place to place quickly and safely.
